Types of Interpretation in the Aesthetic Disciplines cover

Begins from the observation that interpretation, even the kind represented by interpretation of the arts, is not a homogeneous activity. This book provides a bridge between analytical aesthetics and theoretical discussion within aesthetic disciplines. It offers a frame for discussion of the issues and a perspective on debates about interpretation.Discusses the multiplicity of principles of interpretation and provide a descriptive analysis of the concept of interpretation itself

"This fine volume of essays makes significant contributions to our understanding of the idea of interpretation. In particular, important insights are provided into the problem of defining interpretation, different sorts of interpretations that may be distinguished from each other, and, indeed, different kinds of possible taxonomies of interpretations. The papers are very well written, carefully argued, and sustained by consistent reference to specific examples. Nowhere has the idea of interpretation been pursued in such a thorough and creative manner." Paisley Livingston, author of Literature and Rationality: Ideas of Agency in Theory and Fiction
